Your technicians survey the home on a phone, Argile reads the walls end to end, pulls out the wall lengths, the ceiling heights and the floor areas, turns them into quantities per work item and carries them over to the 2D plan, the sizing and the quote, with no double entry.

Survey on site
The technician sweeps the walls of each room with a phone during the technical visit. Argile traces the edges as the sweep goes and measures every wall end to end. Nothing to fetch from the van: the survey is taken with the device already in his pocket.

Take-off
Argile pulls out, room by room, the floor areas, the ceiling heights, the wall lengths and the wall surface that follows from them, net of openings. The take-off is ready before the technician has even left the home, with no hand-drawn sketch involved at any point.

Checking the quantities
The technician reads back the walls one by one and corrects by hand the one the survey ran into, a cupboard or a piece of furniture. Nothing is locked: a wall length, a height or a surface is fixed in two seconds, room by room.

Carried over to the quote
The quantities feed the 2D plan, the heat loss calculation and the work item lines of the quote. A square metre of insulation, a length of skirting or a wall height lands already filled in on the line, ready to confirm.
“When several teams are involved, everyone needs to work with the same information. Argile helps us standardize our visits and better manage our projects.”
These features should interest you too
The Argile building blocks that pair best with this one, from the survey through to the job site.
Opening detection
Argile's AI spots the openings on the home's facades: net surfaces calculated for external insulation, joinery listed for the pricing, with nothing to tick off by hand.
3D reconstruction
During the visit, Argile rebuilds the building in 3D: calibration, measurements and volumes become usable for the measurements, the 2D plan and the sizing, with no specialist equipment.
Remote design

From your desk, qualify the home, sketch the project and give the customer a dependable first estimate before the site visit: you only travel for the projects that are worth it.
